Taurus Boy makes telling sprint to nip rivals
OMAR Walker, a six-time champion jockey, brought Taurus Boy with a telling run in deep stretch to nip rivals on the line in the $1.14-million top-rated Restricted Overnight Allowance on Saturday’s 10-race card at Caymanas Park.
Trained by many-time champion conditioner Philip Feanny, Taurus Boy, who was running for the fifth time at this level, won by a neck in the three-year-old and upward event for horses that have won an Overnight Allowance race over five furlongs (1000m) round.

As expected, Super Duper (Oshane Nugent) blazed the early trail and led the field into the half-mile (800m) turn ahead of Big Big Daddy (Dane Dawkins) and Will The Conquerer (Shavon Townsend). Taurus Boy came into view approaching the distance when rounding horses to take third place behind Super Duper and Big Big Daddy.
Taurus Boy turned for home on the outside of rivals but appeared flat-footed in deep stretch as Big Big Daddy surged ahead of Super Duper. When all seemed lost inside the final stages of the race, Walker produced his mount for an effort and the five-year-old bay horse responded well and nipped Big Big Daddy on the wire for the victory. Super Duper finished a length and a half adrift in third place.
